Actually I can relate. My wife and I had arguments about the color so we let our daughter chose the color and she went black! Sigh
I was into Carmona Red with sea blue or stone grey. Slate Grey with Terracotta/black 2tone.
Wife wanted midnight blue with sand (yuck for sand for me).

Nothing better than black/black/black. I went Basalt just to add a bit of sparkle! It really doesn't show the dust like pure black.

I say Arctic/Black interior. It's classic and shows off the lines of the car the BEST. Black right now is MORE common than silver ! Silver is also a LOT more easy to clean and does not show the dirt easily so you can spend MORE time driving and LESS time washing/waxing.....SILVER RULES.

Not here in the Northeast. 1/2 of the cars on the lot are Silver, and everyone has silver cars.

Does Midnight Blue work with a Black interior? I really wanted black, but not sure if that matches.

It's everywhere. And it's not only Porsche. Every Mercedes, BMW, and even Hyundai seems to be a shade of gray or silver. Not that I should talk, but it's gotten pretty boring. I think my next car will be Tartan plaid.

Now what's your vote?
OK, then get Midnight Blue with Sand Beige.

Ringmeister - yeah, I tried... but sws1 isn't buying it.

BTW, that is the best pic I have seen of the Sea Blue interior. Good job on both the color combo and the interior pic.

Black goes with any color, but I have seen a Midnight Blue with a black interior, and I didn't care for the combo. However, I don't like black interiors, period. I have owned only 1 car with a black interior and I will never again have a car with a black interior.

So subjective a question, it ultimately does come down to you.

I chose midnight blue to break out of the "silverish" color mode.

First thing people say is they love the color. I have a stone grey full leather interior. It is really sharp, but again, so subjective.



Good luck.

I think I've decided on Midnight Blue. Rationale? I'm not gonna arbitrarily deny myself the color I like, just because I've had it before. I can't help it if I like blue. I'm spending alot of money on my dream car. Don't settle for something less that what you like because of some rule. I'd probably regret not picking it.


NOW - I think I'm going with Stone Grey Full leather (instead of black and beige, which I had before.) Do you have any more pics of this car so I can confirm my choice?
